  • Patent number: 7898618
    Abstract: In an LCD apparatus, a reflecting plate, which is formed on a pixel electrode connected to a switching device formed on an array substrate, defines a first area from which a natural light is reflected and a second area through which an artificial light is transmitted. The reflecting plate is partially extended to and overlapped with the second area depending upon a rubbing direction of the array substrate. Thus, the reflective-transmissive type LCD apparatus may prevent occurrence of the afterimage, and may enhance a contrast ratio thereof when operated in a transmissive mode.

  • Patent number: 7746434
    Abstract: An LCD apparatus including a first member, a second member, a liquid crystal layer and an optical film assembly is presented. A phase delay of the optical film assembly is about ??. In a normally white mode, the phase delay of the liquid crystal layer is about (?/2)+? when no voltage is applied and about “?” when voltage is applied. In a normally black mode, the phase delay of the liquid crystal layer is about “?” when no voltage is applied, and about (?/2)+? when voltage is applied. The phase delay between the liquid crystal layer when voltage is applied and the liquid crystal layer when voltage is not applied is about ?/2. “?” is a positive number. By manipulating the value of ?, power consumption can be reduced. For example, the apparatus can be driven with a voltage below 2.5 V.
